New bento box

I just realized that I deleted the pictures of the bentos we had yesterday, oops! They weren't too exciting anyway. We just had sugar snap peas, with cheese and crackers for me and four bean salad and apple gummy for Nick.

Anyway, I have been dying to try out my new onigiri bento box that I got at Ichiban Kan, but didn't have the opportunity until today. My coworkers laughed at its shape during lunch, but I think the winking monkey is super cute.


Inside, we have cold roasted purple potatoes (with a ginger-scallion oil) and pistachios. In the top onigiri part, I put a small container of hummus and mini chips. In the lock and lock box for Nick I packed the roasted potatoes, a mini pecan tart, a bigger container of hummus, the mini chips, and an apple gummy.


Oh, and Nick has now been made the official blog photographer. He can somehow make his pictures of the same exact things brighter than mine, and attributes this to camera settings and other things I could care less about. Hopefully we'll be trying out new backgrounds and lighting so that the pictures will look even better.
